At first, the holiday did not receive proper recognition, since the date of the celebration was not associated with any important event in the history of Texas. However, after several years, the inhabitants of the state began to actively celebrate this day.
Initially, only Indian tribes lived in Texas. At the beginning of the 16th century, it began to be actively explored and settled by immigrants from Spain. Later, the French joined the process of developing new lands. Texas has always been a point of contention for several states. In 1836, the independent Republic of Texas was established. Significant changes occurred on December 29, 1845, when it joined the United States, becoming the 28th state.
